Timer recordings with VideoPlus®
This system makes programming timer recordings ex-
tremely easy. Most TV guides publish VideoPlus pro-
gram numbers in addition to information on TV pro-
grams. If you would like to record a program using the
timer record function, you simply enter the relevant
VideoPlus program number into the recorder. The
date, start, finish and channel settings are adopted
automatically. However, you have to configure the
destination of the recording and the recording quality
and specify whether it is a one-off or repeat recording.
The recorder can store a maximum of 32 timer pro-
grams.
